Prediction: 2-2

Chicago Fire

All eyes will be on Orlando City Stadium when Orlando City and Chicago Fire face each other in the MLS derby. Orlando City suffered an upsetting 1-0 loss to Minnesota United at the weekend, but they were without their star player Kaka in the TCF Bank Stadium clash. The Lions are desperate to give fans some cheer and they aim to stay in the race for top position in the Western Conference. However, Monday’s football game against Chicago Fire will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts as Veljko Paunovic’s men are on a four-match winning run in MLS. The Serbian tactician is doing a great job with the Toyota Park outfit and his men are high on confidence ahead of the trip to Orlando. Anyhow, both teams are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Monday’s game and we predict that both teams will score in the Orlando City Stadium clash.

Highlighted Player (Ricardo Kaka):

Ricardo Kaka is regarded as one of the most significant MLS stars. The Brazilian ace spent six seasons (2003/2009) at Stadio San Siro with Milan and he scored 70 goals in 193 league appearances for the Rossoneri. In 2007 he helped the Serie A giants beat Liverpool in the Champions League final. Real Madrid chiefs were eager to sign Kaka and they managed to bring him to Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on June 30, 2009. The Brazil international, though, was playing below expectations for Real Madrid and due to the lack of first-team football he decided to return to Milan in 2013. Kaka scored seven goals in 30 league appearances in his second spell with the Rossoneri and in 2014 he moved to MLS, signing a contract with Orlando City. Speaking of his international career, the Orlando City superstar clinched the FIFA World Cup trophy with Brazil in 2002. It has to be noted that Kaka was named FIFA World Player of the Year in 2007.

Highlighted Team (Chicago Fire):

Based in the suburb of Bridgeview, Illinois, Chicago Fire are a professional soccer club who compete in Major League Soccer. Chicago Fire were founded on October 8, 1997 and one year later they won the MLS Cup by beating D.C. United (2-0) in the title game. The club play their home games at Toyota Park, the venue that was opened on June 11, 2006. Chicago Fire won four U.S. Open Cups (1998, 2000, 2003 and 2006) and in 2009 they were beaten by UANL Tigres in the North American Superliga final. The likes of Chris Armas, DeMarcus Beasley, Brian McBride, Eric Wynalda and Frank Klopas are some of the notable footballers who played for Chicago Fire in the past. It has to be noted that a number of veterans were part of the club as well: Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Pavel Pardo, Piotr Nowak, Hristo Stoichkov and Lubos Kubik. The club’s official coloures are red and white and they are nicknamed Men in Red. Veljko Paunovic, who won the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup with Serbia, is one of the club’s most famous coaches.
